GERMANY: Criterion: Beisen

Foot in mouth. Field Marshal Viscount
Montgomery of Alamein last week chose this defense for a necessary
reduction of German food rations in the British zone to a
near-starvation 1,000 calories a day: "Germans gave the inmates of
Beisen only 800 calories." Short, spare Montgomery added: "Big,
overgrown Germans have got to tighten their belts."
